Well greater spread of funding would be helpful in the police aspect, I do understand the need for safety officers, while I dont like many of the other roles they play, which they should not, on this issue is one of the only cases in which they are a benifit, I dont think for this you need armed teachers. While you could decide teachers who want to be able to do so should, I still think overall the additions of more weapons into the environment isnt a helpful addition. Also I was reffering to gun access and mental health not of teachers but as it pertains generally, mental health being increa…  Read moresingly worse leads to more shooters (often shooters are suicidal and either kill themselves or plan to die during the events), in addition gun access is much to high, we are the only country with more guns than people. While I agree with the right to have and use a firearm, I dont not agree that this necessary extends to all weapons (as even on the basis most people would agree you should not be able to get tanks or nukes) though I think generally if its not obvious something shouldnt be allowed, it should be allowed. In addition its not a protection from background checks or my preferable system of liscensing and ensuring understanding of gun safety and use, a gun needs to be an active and tough descision, much different than it currently is.
